USGS is currently preparing a new version of its global Mars digital image mosaic, which will be known as MDIM 2.1. As part of this process we are completing a new photogrammetric solution of the…

In many cases, the derivation of high-resolution digital terrain models (DTMs) from planetary surfaces using only conventional digital image matching is a problem. The matching methods need at least…

Within the Photogrammetry and Cartography Group (PCG) of the Mars Express HRSC (High Resolution Stereo Scanner Camera) Co-Investigator Science Team, the main task of which is the development and…

Geo Information Systems (GIS) are standard tools in the Earth sciences whenever different geographic data sets must be combined. GIS became increasingly popular in the field of planetary research as…

We have re-measured control points and re-computed a control point network for Saturn’s satellite Dione. Our network is based on 16 images (obtained by the narrow-angle cameras of Voyager I and…

The images obtained by the HRSC (High Resolution Stereo Camera) on Mars Express show excellent potential for topographic mapping of the planet. The derived stereo models agree with topographic data…

Positional control for MDIM 2.1 comes from a new geodetic/photogrammetric solution of the global Mars Mariner 9 and Viking image control network. The details of this network solution are described…

We describe USGS topomapping of Mars at resolutions from 100 m to 30 µm with data from the latest spacecraft missions. Analysis of NASA 2001 Mars Odyssey Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS)…

Launched in 1996, Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) carries two types of mapping equipments: Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) and Mar Orbiter Camera (MOC). MOLA collects accurate laser altimetry data…

This paper focusses on the estimation of exterior orientation parameters of the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) orbiting planet Mars during the European Mars Express mission since January 2004.…
